Omnicef (cefdinir): This medicine works very well. I didn't have a yeast infection nor did I have the upset stomach, which I usually have with antibiotics.

Omnicef (cefdinir): Omnicef was effective in treating my daughter's sinusitis. However, she broke out in hives a day after finishing the medication. Although it is not certain the medicine caused her hives, it is very ironic that they broke out within 24 hours of finishing the antibiotic.

Omnicef (cefdinir): I have only taken 2 doses so far. It seems to be working and I don't have all the side effects. I will use it again.

cefdinir: Well after my first pill I already felt better sinus-wise, but I had an allergic reaction and broke out in a red rash all over my face that spread to more of my body. Be careful if you are allergic to penicillin. You may also be allergic to this medication

cefdinir: Cefdinir did what no other antibiotic did as for getting rid of certain problems that I had for years. However I had severe cramping and diarrhea with this medicine and had to quit taking it. I feel like, if the doctors know something about this medicine, besides popping 2 a day, he or she should tell you. A person has to look on the internet how to take medicines in order to keep down the side effects. And if my doctor told me it would be better to take Cefdinir on a full stomach and eat yogurt everyday, maybe the side effects would have been much less. And he knows how sensitive I am to medicines.

cefdinir: I was prescribed Cefdinir after getting a sinus infection and bronchitis. It solved that problem in just a few days, but after 3 days on it, my diarrhea became intolerable, far worse than the original sickness. I stopped taking Cefdinir. It's been over 3 weeks now of non-stop gastrointestinal pain that landed me an clonoscopy procedure, stool cultures at the hospital, and persistent diarrhea. The worst of which culminated in a near black out from pain on the toilet. My case may have been a rare exception but I'm certain Cefdinir is no friend of mine.

cefdinir: As an adult, I was prescribed this medicine for sinusitis and Otis media (fluid in my inner ear) for 10 days. I went back to the doctor to have my ear checked and still had fluid in my ears. After only 3 or 4 days off the medicine, I became worse, went back to the doctor again who prescribed another 14 days on this medication along with 9 days of Prednisone. I still have a middle ear infection.

cefdinir: I am on day 7 of this antibiotic for a sinus infection. While my symptoms have all but gone, I still have to keep taking it of course. I noticed a couple of days ago that I was feeling "funny" approximately 2 hours after taking the medicine. It wasn't like that at first but now I have body aches, headache, chills...kind of reminds me of the flu.

Omnicef (cefdinir): I have taken many, many times for my chronic sinus infections and it seems to be the only thing that ever gets rid of the infection. I do get stomach aches from it, and nausea but it does what it's supposed to.

Omnicef (cefdinir): 300mg 2 x day for 7 days prescribed for Sinusitis. I think I may have felt like I was getting slightly better the 2nd and 3rd day but after that it went back to the same as before. No adverse side effects, just didn't seem to work.

Omnicef (cefdinir): I've only been on it 2 days, but so far so good! I feel much better, cough is gone, and no side effects. Will use again if I need it.

Omnicef Omni-Pac (cefdinir): Side effects hit me so hard and fast that I had to stop taking the medicine after half a day.

Omnicef (cefdinir): Today is day 6 of this medicine and it just isn't working. I would have thought that I would have some kind of relief by now, but not.
